Verona Pharma's Ohtuvayre Continues to Rake in Sales
The shares of Verona Pharma are shootin' to the moon, hitting an all-time high of $92.98 on the Nasdaq this week. This comes after a 12-month surge of over 510%, and it ain't showing signs of slowin' down. The latest spike is due to enthusiastic analyst comments.
Cantor Fitzgerald, for example, is as bullish as ever. They've kept their "Overweight" rating and bumped up their price target to $100 from $90. They're convinced that there's still gold to be mined in this story, so long as Ohtuvayre, their innovative COPD drug, becomes a billion-dollar franchise.
Jefferies is equally optimistic. They've maintained their "Buy" rating, with a price target of $110 (up from $95). Analyst Andre Tsai likes what he sees, suggesting that the market acceptance of Ohtuvayre is robust. Jefferies now expects Ohtuvayre to reach peak sales of $3 to $5 billion. Tsai even predicts that Verona Pharma could be in the black as early as Q2.
Ohtuvayre is a runaway hit since its launch last fall. This nebulizer-administered lung medication is flying off the shelves.
